Two children are injured after a jumping castle is lifted into the air by strong winds during a children’s birthday party near Geelong, Victoria. Police say the inflatable becomes airborne and the children are thrown or fall from it.
All outlets describe the incident as occurring on Saturday morning in south-west Victoria, with ABC and multiple papers reporting the children are taken to hospital. Several sources say the inflatable is swept up by gusty conditions, while others specify the party context and that it is within a group of children playing on the castle at the time. One outlet mentions a location in Mount Duneed, while others cite the broader Geelong area.
Across coverage, the main point of difference is the reported place name and minor wording about how the children are injured (thrown versus falling). The underlying account is consistent: high winds lift the jumping castle off the ground, leading to the injuries.
